							12.5.1  Install the security certificateWhen accessing a camera with HTTPS and the PC cannot verify the signer of the security certificate, a security
alert window will be displayed for the camera being accessed. To have the security alert window not displayed,
it is necessary to install the security certificate in the following procedure. If the certificate is not installed, the
alert window will be displayed each time the camera is accessed.
Note
•The security certificate is installed on the PC with the information registered for “Common Name”.
Therefore, the information registered for  “Common Name ” must be same as the address or host name
for the camera access. If the certificate is not the same, the security alert window will be displayed
each time the camera is accessed.
• When the address or host name of the camera is changed, the security alert window will be displayed
each time the camera is accessed even if the security certificate is installed. Install the security
certificate again.
• When the camera access is open to the Internet, enter the address name or host name to access via
the Internet for “Common Name”. In this case, the security alert window will be displayed each time
the camera is locally accessed, even if the security certificate is installed.
• When the security certificate is properly installed, a key icon is displayed in the address box of the web
browser that has accessed the camera.
• When using Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, note that some of the displayed windows may

12.6  How to configure the settings relating to DDNS When activating the DDNS function using the camera, either of the following DDNS services is available.
• “Viewnetcam.com” service
• Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2136 compliant)
IMPORTANT
•Before using the DDNS service, it is necessary to perform the port forwarding setting for the router.
• About Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2136 compliant)
Operation using DDNS services other than the “Viewnetcam.com” service is not guaranteed. We are
not responsible for any troubles or accidents on the circumstances where the camera is used arising
out of such services.
Refer to the DDNS service providers for the selection and configuration of the DDNS services other
than the “Viewnetcam.com” service.
Note
•“Viewnetcam.com” is a Dynamic DNS service designed for use with Panasonic Network Cameras.
Refer to the “Viewnetcam.com” website (http://www.viewnetcam.com/) for further information about
the service.
About DDNS services (IPv4/IPv6) By using a DDNS service, it becomes possible to view camera images via the Internet.
The DDNS service associates dynamic global addresses and domain names.
It is possible to configure the settings for the  “Viewnetcam.com” or Dynamic DNS Update  (RFC2136 compliant).
In most of the DNS services offered by providers, global addresses are not static but dynamic. Therefore,
access to the camera via an old global address may be invalidated after a certain period of time. Either of the
following services is required when accessing a camera whose global address is not static via the Internet.
• DDNS service (such as “Viewnetcam.com”)
It is possible to access via a registered and static domain name (example: *****.viewnetcam.com) even
after the global address is changed. Enrollment in a domain name service is required even when using the
IPv6 connection.
Refer to the “Viewnetcam.com” website (http://www.viewnetcam.com/) for further information about the
service.
• Static IP address service (such as a service offered by a contracted provider)
In this service, global addresses are static (not changed).

							12.6.1  Configuration of the DDNS service (Example of the
“Viewnetcam.com” service)
A. DNS server
B. Internet
C. Provider
D. “Viewnetcam.com” service server
E. Remote site
Global address is changed.
The contracted provider allocates a global address to the router  (or the camera). The global address is not
static but dynamic.
“*****.viewnetcam.com” and the current global address is automatically registered.
If you are enrolled in  “Viewnetcam.com”, the unique “domain name” (example: *****.viewnetcam.com) will
be allocated. The “Viewnetcam.com” service server automatically manages the domain name of camera
and the global address of router (or camera) when a camera automatically notifies the service server of
the global address.
Current global address is automatically registered via “*****.viewnetcam.com”.
The “Viewnetcam.com” service server registers the global address and the domain name of router (or
camera) in the DNS server.
Global address is obtained via the URL (domain name).
By entering the URL  (including the domain name) on the web browser when accessing the camera via the
Internet, the DNS server identifies the registered global address of router (or camera).
Access using the current global address
The identified global address is used for accessing the router (or camera) to monitor images.
Note
•Refer to the contracted provider whether the current IP address is static or not.
• Depending on the provider, local addresses may be allocated. In this case, the DDNS service is
unavailable. Refer to the contract provider for further information.
